My 58 kombi is my daily these days... 

I could use a new set of heater boxes for sure... 
but this mexican blanket sure is warm!
Hmm, I should probably update the heater duct insulation,
and now I know first hand why all seals around the pedals etc.
should be installed!

Oh ya... Bring hot coffee, just don't fog up the windows with it.  :P

I just put some all season tires on my car the other day.  Not as good as snows, but way better than the tires I normally use.

Picked up a pair of snows a couple of weeks ago for my blue 70 type 1 DD.
First winter in a long time I've  had a bug on the road. Put in an electric heater to help with the heat though. Fun in the snow!

Yeah, Who's bringing a AC VW to the dinner? Lots of space in the trunk for your food donations ;D

Found them on Craigslist $30 pr. 16S5R15 mounted on stock wheels. Looks like barely one season use.

Emma's still on the road. Though as soon as the square is running she'll be parked.

I was going to but, there are not many takers and The Bug's tires would not be good on snow. I will have to take the van.
